You need to check your state laws. In some states, homeschooling must be done by a family member. Some states make it easy to set up a private school to get around this requirement and some states don't have the requirement at all. You might check the hslda site and check the laws for your state - or check your state's dept. of education site.

Most States would allow but I think that some States require for an instructor who is not a parent to have a teaching degree. Check out your State Law with hslda.org (Home School Legal Defense Association).

Independent study programs are as small as a one family unit and as big as state wide. The ISP could be through a local public school, private school, or independent director. Check with your states Home Educators Association to find the group that you determine best.

mom21gr8girl has it right - check the state's laws. This may fall under the category of private tutor, which would be different from educating one's own child. The state may regulate to some degree who is allowed to call themselves a tutor. You wouldn't want molesters advertising their services as tutors, now, would you? Which is NOT to say your friend is a molester, it's just taking this to it's worst possible conclusion.
Check this out with either the state Board of Ed., HSLDA, or your local school district.

Find out from your local school district. I've seen ads and articles where parents are trying to get teachers to come to the home to teach the kids.

mom21 has it right. You must check your local homeschooling laws. In a lot of places it's not a problem but some states have very specific laws about it only being the parents.

I believe so, if that person follows the curriculum that is approved by the state or the school district in which you live.

Don't see why not. I think it's a great idea. Anything beats the public school system anymore.

It depends on the State. Here in Texas you can.

Most states won't allow it unless that person has a degree. m
